Controllable Dose

["Vernig, Peter G." <Peter.Vernig@med.va.gov>]

Group

There is a guest editorial in the April HPS Newsletter by Dr. Roger Clarke,
Chairman of ICRP suggesting a basic change in the way dose is controlled.  A
fuller discussion of his proposal is available at the HPS web site at
http://www.hps.org for down load.  This is an opportunity akin to commenting
on proposed regulations.  I have offered to send copies to my VA colleagues
that are not HPS members or do not have internet access, so I am not going
to make that offer here.  However I'm sure any of you operating under
similar conditions can receive either document by simply making a request to
the group.  Not being an HPS member can be easily cured however.
